In honor of the 2017 AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I made a 'lil Steelers quilt.

I had this t-shirt left-over from another project and once I knew the teams would be playing each other, what better use than a team quilt.

You know I love stripes. So I did them yet again. Light grey and white. All over-stippled quilt patten and finished with a black and white striped binding, and of course NFL licensed fabric for the back.

So what's YOUR predication? Who do you think will win and go on to play in this years Super Bowl?

Of course I am a New England girl, so I am screaming all the way for my Patriots !

...and one was a gift that never made it. It was mailed but probably stolen from the USPS.

I don't have any great quilting plans for 2017. I would like to make another New England Patriots quilt, maybe a postage stamp quilt. A few more to round out my non-functioning easy shop, and I would really, really like to get a pile going to donate to the Children's hospital, as I have done in years past.

I know. I know. (Insert eye roll) Another t-shirt quilt. In my defense this one was a gift for a very good friend, who (obviously) is a NY Yankees baseball fan.

All but two of the shirts were thrifted. The shirt in the middle is around 20 years old and was "donated" to the cause.

I kept the design simple with bold stripes on the front and then smaller stripes on the back with the second "donated" t-shirt. Finished with official licensed NY Yankees fabric, and grey and white striped binding.

Well, okay. I made another one. They're a little bit addicting to make, if I am being honest.

Since I am stuck in Delaware right now, obviously there is an abundance of Eagles team gear.

There is something that I really like about the grey/white/green color. The back has a simple team logo fabric. I made the stripes a little wider on this quilt, which adds a little more length to the overall size.

It's baby/toddler sized. Perfect for the littlest fan. Or maybe even a wall hanging for the man cave ?

I also love stripes, which if you check out my etsy shop is quite obvious. So, stripes and the Patriots. Perfect combo.

I used a wicked soft blue and grey plaid flannel for the back, grey binding finished it all off. The final size ended up being 41 inches by 51 inches. My "babies" are all grown up, otherwise this one would be staying here with me.
